Would you modify your daughter’s DNA to end war forever? In the near future, a World Oil War leaves the Midwest in ruins, except for pristine GMO crops controlled by a monopoly, Ambrosia, and the Army, which savagely protects the crops from starving war survivors. A genetic engineer, Rachel Anne Lane hates violence and war, and has protected her unusual 16-year-old daughter, Alexis, since birth. If Rachel modifies Alexis’s special DNA, she can end all wars forever. But Alexis rebels against her mother, traveling to the desolate Midwest to help survivors. Her healing gaze cures Jeff Trotter, a PTSD-afflicted soldier who’s searching for his father, Dan Trotter. Alexis and Jeff fall in love, though he dislikes her reading his mind, fearing she will discover secrets. Desperate for more oil, the Army will kill millions of Americans with lethal GMO foods Rachel mistakenly developed. They’ll use Jabril El Fahd, the worst kind of brutal, mutated terrorist, who wants revenge against Rachel for his years of torture. Helped by CIA and Army friends, and computer geek, Dan Trotter, Rachel chases Jabril across a post-apocalyptic U. S. , desperate to save Alexis, Jeff, and the U. S. But Jabril is always one step ahead of her.

Dan’s War is about the end of world oil . . . in two weeks. Abdullah El-Hamain, a high-roller OPEC member, hates Big Oil for polluting earth and killing his wife. His solution: sink or swim—end global warming by destroying the entire world’s oil supply in two weeks, using spiders and nanobacteria. Drawn into his apocalyptic scheme is Dan Trotter, a CIA computer savant without equal, but with Asperger’s-like syndrome that makes him a social goof. If Dan can only become a field agent in a real war he will become a hero like his father, breaking out of his geek job, and gain the respect from his wayward son, and roaming wife. Dan soon finds himself in the middle of an oil war, a war that his own computer program helped start. He strives to save our world, fighting inner demons, family problems, and reeling from an affair with a hot Marine. In the cataclysmic ending, Dan’s priorities are totally rearranged. From Vienna to Indonesia, Dubai to the bayou country of Louisiana, this techno-thriller is as international as it is current. Dan’s War was a finalist at the Pikes Peak Writers Contest in 2009. Milt Mays is a graduate of The Naval Academy, a retired U. S. Navy Captain, and a Cheyenne Veterans hospital physician, having learned the value and seen the results of war.
